Riding the wave in disordered open systems: a universal rule that ties where waves go to how a spectrum looks

Researchers introduce a set of universal relations that connect spectrum shapes to wave behavior in one-dimensional disordered systems. The framework reveals a never-before-seen critical state where waves localize differently depending on direction, and shows how it can be tracked using a topological winding number.

Harnessing the predictive power of virtual communities

Scientists have created a propagation-based algorithm to extract both link-density and link-pattern communities from real-life networks. This approach outperforms existing state-of-the-art algorithms in detecting real-life communities, particularly those characterized by internal patterns of similar connectedness.
